    Agree about shipping.
    $13.30 for 3 kits ($15) is too steep for me also. Pass.
    I think shipping is free if you spend 50.00 today. I saw that somewhere. I might check on site to see if that is the case.

    Well rats my CC was hacked and I had over $1100 in fraudulent chargers, grrr. But the CC company was right on it and declined those purchases and new card on the way. So guess I am done shopping LOL!

    Happened once to me before - I was able to narrow it down to 3 vendors, but unsure of which one - so I hate to say it - I stopped shopping at all 3 just to be safe...

    i dont know if this company is possibly a chain/franchise.. because i typed in my zipcode and it popped up 2 vape stores near me. --if they are part of a chain,, you may be able to just walk into the store near you and see if they have any cheap inventory to sell you.

    Also, good to keep in mind how many years you think you might want to vape. I am older so don't really need this much stuff but hey, I will (hopefully) NEVER have to give one penny to anyone connected to making this mess happen. In my case, my state will probably tax the crap out of anything still on the market and I don't want to give them one dime after our legislators were so pro FDA deeming regs.


    Figuring out how long you will want to vape or how long you will be alive. My father died at 59 and both grandfathers made mid 90's. That is to large a window for everything. Will I even want to vape in 10 years?.


    I have stockpiled for 5-7 years.

    Others here ARE prepping for 30+ years.

    Only prep items that tge deeming regulations will take off the market.

    No need to prep

    VG
    PG
    18650 batteries
    Cotton or Rayon for wicking

    Prep the following.
    Get backups of backups of mods with replaceable batteries, RDAs or RTAs. Don't prep tanks that only use premade coils. When the FDA bans them from the market the coil heads will go bye bye too.
    Prep nicotine base, flavors, and possibly resistance wire.

    I have
    8 18650 battery mods
    3 Kayfuns
    3 Silverplay Nano
    1 Hurricane Jr.
    5 mods I use that uses premade coil heads, and 50 spare coil heads. I may get more while i can.

    I have a plan on where to source everything locally.

    It had to be my last purchase, and I know who it was so will not go back there. Was a first time purchase with them.

    Actually that very purchase was flagged as fraud and I had to ok it, then the 2 other actual fraud charges showed up after and this is a well known vendor so makes me wonder about their website if it is secure.

    Generally, fraudulent charges don't show up that quickly. There's a period of time between the actual compromise and when the data shows up for sale.

    Makes me wonder if the CC was already alerted to the site by other shoppers...

    Mine was about 3 weeks or so. And it was obvious they were fraud because on the same day 3 purchases were made in different parts of the world...

    Wee, FT order from 26Aug should be here tomorrow. Not bad turnaround really. No mods on this order just parts, glass, wire and silicone sleeves for the picos.
    I have a FT PARCEL with spare bell caps for my Kayfun waiting to be picked up.

    I have another parcel behind it with 20 pre made coils for an Atty i use sporatically.

    Sorry this happened. I need to check mine, haven't done so in a few days. Danged thieves, why can't the FDA deem them out of existence?
